adventure darkcomedy farce honor journey parody submarine submarines

In a wildly absurd and darkly comedic misadventure, the crew of the decrepit North Korean submarine Baekdu embarks on a dangerous mission to strike at the heart of the United States. With a crude nuclear device, dwindling fuel, and unwavering faith in their Supreme Leader, the clueless crew sails from one disaster to the next. Pursued by a deadly Chinese criminal syndicate and under the watchful eye of a paranoid radar technician at Cheyenne Mountain, the Baekdu teeters on the edge of catastrophe, all while believing they're orchestrating the greatest victory in history. Can their blind faith carry them through, or will they sputter out before reaching their final, explosive goal?All Rights Reserved

ARC10 by LLMontez

[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL Montez

The Best Laid Plans of Vegetation and Cybernetic Beings by KarinaLFabian

If you love Star Trek and parodies... If the Orville and Galaxy Quest give you as much joy as Wrath of Khan... If you believe (as Tumblr users do) that humans will rule the galaxy because we are the only species crazy enough to tie two warp cores together, reverse the polarity and toss them into a star just to see what will happen... then this is the book for you. These are the voyages of the HMB Impulsive. This episode: The HMB Impulsive has a routine diplomatic mission - to assist two warring planets to achieve peace through marriage by ferrying the prince to his wedding. But when the prince falls for the ship's sexy (yes, that's her title), and the Cybers attack, it's far from routine. Can the crew of the Impulsive apply human hold-my-beer ingenuity to save the day and the wedding? (This story is found in my collection, Space Traipse: Hold My Beer, Season 1, on Amazon)

Tales of mystery and adventure lure into the ocean that none will dare to step into, except for one pirate crew: The Nightmare Dwellers. Led by their mysterious and fearless captain, Bill Cipher, the crew embarks on multiple immense feats, but none were as memorable as the tale of Captain Cipher finding the treasure he didn't know he was looking for.

Stealth Journeys with the Steam Mapper by steammapperjourneys

A 2019 Wattys entry deeply into climate change, global warming, and environmental destruction, especially the nuclear kind! A lot of true facts are embedded in this story which has both true and fictional characters. Who is to be believed is for you to decide. The chapters are many but many are short. Still, it is a full-sized novel with promise for future adventures. Plot: An international crew of scientists board a large state-of -the art oceanographic vessel privately funded by an anonymous source. The itinerary is to travel down the west coast of the Americas and travel the South Pacific to Antarctica. The team plans to visit many known sites of hydrothermal vents using a device called the MAPR, searching vents for a bacterium that seems promising in use as a way to fight carbon dioxide emissions. But one of the two junior scientists on the team soon realizes that secrets are being kept, and makes promises to keep some, while learning that some onboard have entirely different agendas. To complicate matters, this junior scientist's desire for a special friendship grows in intensity, just as mysterious murmurings and strange sightings intensify. And then, the ship experiences a sequence of events that will draw world attention and leave all of us with more questions than answers. "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water." "The Immense Journey" by Loren Eiseley "No other place, always this Your earthly landfall, and no ship exists To take you from yourself." By Lawrence Durrell

Because their father is dead. After the short but difficult task of moving the body to the freezer and suppressing stray emotions, Dell finds a note which leads to their father's dying request. To find the six fragments of the Pluto Disk. Dell, Cal, and their other sister Ser barely have any idea what it is or what it's for, but they're also stranded in the middle of the ocean on a submarine, lost, not even knowing where home is anymore. And so, they set forth to fulfill what their father never could. As the three of them plunge into a quest involving dangerous shipwrecks and intriguing mermaids, Dell is haunted by a torrent of questions. Does the girl she left back on the island still love her? Can she become the leader that her father was sculpting her into? Can they even survive this? The water is murky and so is her mind as she struggles to know if this quest is even worth it at all.
